The The Global Gallery - WordPress Responsive Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.5. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13814 is a code injection vulnerability in the Global Gallery - WordPress Responsive Gallery plugin. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly validate input before executing shortcodes via do_shortcode, enabling authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to execute arbitrary shortcodes. This can lead to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 9.1.5.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially leading to limited unauthorized information disclosure or modification within the WordPress environment. The CVSS score of 5.4 reflects a medium impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability. There are no reports of exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of the Global Gallery plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from LCweb regarding a security patch.
